For every local and traveler stepping into Hoi An, the image of a cyclo has long become familiar and intimate. The cyclo is an integral part of life and a means for tourists to explore the ancient town.
With a living historical site, Hoi An's ancient town is becoming an attractive destination, drawing a multitude of tourists from both within and outside the country. Hoi An tourism is flourishing, and so is the profession of cyclo pedaling to serve tourists, especially since the city decided to limit motorized vehicles during certain hours.
The image of cyclo drivers slowly pedaling their wheels, carrying passengers for a leisurely tour through every alley of the ancient town, has become strangely familiar over time. Cyclo drivers, with sweat-soaked backs, always wear a cheerful smile, while passengers appear fascinated by what they hear and see.
Slowly, calmly, without noise or rush, cyclo drivers take turns sharing stories about the ancient town with tourists. They introduce the cultural beauty of the people of Hoi An and share stories about their own meaningful but quietly strenuous job.
Cyclo drivers are like living documentaries about the ancient town, expressing a magical love and connection. They play a crucial role in preserving the cultural essence of the ancient town, serving as companions and bridges for tourists visiting Hoi An.
Sit on the cyclos to feel the gentle breath of the ancient town, listen to the peaceful melodies along the old streets, capture the timeless beauty of moss-covered tiled roofs, and realize your profound love and connection with enchanting Hoi An.
